What they said: Wenger on Welbeck, Martinez on Cleverley and Hull

The Premier League is back after a brief respite following a manic transfer deadline day and international action. Coral writers round-up the best quotes from press conferences.

Arsene Wenger on Arsenal’s final summer signing: “Danny Welbeck is young and I feel he can improve his career here – he is confident.

“I was happy to take a permanent transfer with Danny Welbeck. When you analyse Welbeck’s game, he has the qualities to play down the middle but he is very versatile.”

It should be noted, however, that Wenger, who was in Italy coaching for a charity match, only reportedly wanted to sign the striker on loan. “If I’d stayed at home he wouldn’t be here now,” the Arsenal boss added.

Welbeck is 15/8 to score on a potential Gunners debut against Manchester City.

Roberto Martinez on not signing Tom Cleverley from Manchester United and Everton’s defensive problems after letting in 10 Premier League goals in three matches: “I was very pleased we had all our business done ahead of deadline day.

“We tried to look into a couple of opportunities but they never came off and in reality they were probably not the right ones for us.

“I was never tempted to go into the market. We have centre halves that I couldn’t be happier with. We just need that confidence back. It has been a surprise because we have not lost any players in that back five, they have incredible experience with over 1100 Premier League games between them.

“It has been one of those situations where everything that could go wrong in our box, has gone wrong. We are aware of what we have to improve, but the margins are very small. It is not about a need for drastic change or revolution.”

Odds of 21/10 say the Toffees can keep a first clean sheet of the season away at West Bromwich Albion.
